Be my guest Kescah.

My guru used to say that we sleep more because of food, ie cooked food and excessive food. He sleeps less than 2 hours a night.

Sorry to put this in here - but the whole sleeping thing has really intruiged me. I am one who "thinks" she needs MUCH sleep. I also feel that this is unhealthy - but I am so tired so much of the time. Not sure why I am responding - I guess just to say "wow" and that I hope when I am further along my own path of healing I will be able to function in such an amazingly profound manner.

Kescah, can you give us some more info on your nose? Like waht are you food likes and dislikes, and the ususal extended descriptions? I certainly think it is miasmatic and a dose of Sulphur after the Silica could do you a world of good
'If Silica ceases to act, give one or two doses of Sulphur and Silica will complete the cure.' (Clarke and/or Boericke)

Etain, how much do you eat? I eat once a day, a small meal, and as Bala says, eating drains your energy towards the stomach, so thinking is affected. Most people feel a bit drowsy afetr a meal. As with Kescah, post your symptoms as extensively as you can and we might find the proper remedy for you.

Dear Kescah and Ben,

Please, Consider "LACHESIS" very very STRONGLY.

(1) Aversion to neck being touched.
(2) cannot stand tight things "bra".
(3) Open and willing to talk. Expressive.

These particular group of symptoms immediately calls my attention to "LACH"; (right or wrong- I do not know; without further probing)

Ben , this is your case. If you do not see "LACH" as a possibility, then do not pay heed to my reasoning. This is ONLY my thinkings.Kescah trusts YOU and YOUR opinion means very much to her. She will FOLLOW your advice.

ANY other questions and I will be more than glad to answer.

Sorry if I inconvienced you, Kescah and Ben.

John why Lachesis? I have not seen the morning aggravation in her posts, and lach is left sided, not right. If you propose remedies, why not give your reasoning, so that people can learn? I find some of the practitioners here are very capable, but we need to educate the next generation. To keep all this knowledge close to the chest is not very generous - like GM demanding payment to teach me.
The free exchange of ideas is what the net is about, at least for me. So let us give generously and not consider anybody unworthy of receiving our knowledge and experience.

Kescah, I will use this weekend to go over your case, including what you sent me privately. As soon as I have made my choice, I will post it here.
You sure are not an easy case but I will do my best. Thanks for the trust.

Oh, Ben, there you are. It took 3 days to answer so I thought maybe you were sleeping. (Ha) I knew you would ask such questions. Well, I have been on constitutional treatment for about 15 years and there have been a number of remedies chosen for various things that have worked well. In recent years I am not near my homeopath anymore and I often just choose my own with pretty good success, but nothing has completely healed this problem long term. I can only say that the sinuses are always swollen. The remedies I took the longest were Puls and Graphites, for 3 years each. I have needed Med, Psor, Tub and Carc. I am really kind of a mess, so after I treat one layer the next one seems to start pushing up really soon. I do wait at least a month before changing remedies, but the next layer can get demanding. My long term mentals that I still have include fear of heights, an aversion to having my neck touched, and aversion to wearing a bra (tightness) and that generally I am an outgoing, helpful Phos type person with some resentment lately if I feel unappreciated or used. Sepia I'm sure, as I've needed it lately with perimenopause. Long term food likes include sweets and onions/garlic. I had a bad time with Candida for years, but that is better now. I am about 15 pounds overweight and have a bloated abdomen, would like to do better about eating smaller meals. Are you well enough nourished on one meal? How much do you eat at that time? Food is comfort to me. I have more self control than some people, but not enough to keep it down where it should be. I chew on my fingers, the skin around the nails. I alternate between thirsty and not thirsty. I have lots of food allergy, but can ignore it as it only seems to cause heart rate increase, not severe. It may be the cause of my sinus swelling. The Candida may be involved with the ulceration. I am mailing you a bit more information, and I really don't expect you to sort it out that easily because I am complicated and it would take an extensive visit, I think. But if anything seems to stand out here, please let me know. Thanks!

Check edit above.

Thank you both. My homeopath gave me Lachesis years ago for my neck, and there was an amelioration for about a week, but it wouldn't hold. When I repeated, I believe it was the same potency (30c) and there was another short amelioration. The doctor said it just wasn't time for Lachesis. But it is true that there is no morning aggravation and it is right sided always (the nose.)To complicate the situation, I'll add that I have a lot of back pain and tension in the right side, lower dorsal or upper lumbar and and shoulders. But my head itches on the left side for the last year. Thought you'd like the challenge of a left sided symptom!
